What will you be doing?

What will you be doing?

We are looking for a keen and proactive person with a good eye for detail to join Birmingham Community Matters as a Trustee on our Trustee Board.

To encourage people to volunteer with BCM as trustees, we are keen to support learning within the role, and have resources to support and provide learning opportunities for someone who might not have served on a Trustee board to develop and grow into the role. Experience is less important than passion and willingness to grow with us.

Commitment

• BCM Trustee Board meets 4-6 times per year (each meeting lasts up to 2 hours and is currently held online)
• We hold two social events each year for Trustees to meet with staff and volunteers, one in winter, one in summer.
